In the glittering world of Hollywood, celebrities know their youthful looks are the key to banking the best roles.
Because as soon as their youthful charisma and vitality fades, those starring roles dry up fast.
It’s no wonder then that celebrities are spending vast sums on cutting edge treatments to delay the aging process.

Cryotherapy and Cold Plunges: The Chilly Way to Slow Aging
Cryotherapy and cold plunges both involve exposing the body to extreme cold.
Celebrities swear by the health and mood-boosting benefits of this futuristic therapy. And there’s science to support it.
When exposed to extreme cold, the body responds by reducing inflammation, which in turn boosts the immune system. The body also increases blood circulation, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to your skin and organs. What’s more, the shock of cold exposure can enhance mood by triggering the release of endorphins
From athletes like LeBron James to wellness gurus like Gwyneth Paltrow, it’s no wonder so many people are jumping on (or in) the cold therapy bandwagon.
